1) Puppy dog eyes
One of the most adorable things your dog does is give you those biggy Cute puppy dog eyes. Though most people melt and reward this cuteness with a treat, this is your dog’s way of saying he loves and trusts you. (I’m sure he will appreciate the tasty morsel too!)
Your
heart leaps. You caress, murmuring sweet nothings. And as those big browns
remain fixed on you, the tail wags.
Japanese researchers found
that dogs who trained a long gaze on their owners had elevated levels of
oxytocin, a hormone produced in the brain that is associated with attachment,
similar to the feel-good feedback that bolsters bonding between parent and
child. After receiving those gazes, the owners’ oxytocin increased, too.
2) Squinting or blinking of the eyes
This means your pet wants
attention and is ready to spend quality time with you. If you notice this
behavior, check yourself. Have you been too busy to show her some love today?
If so, make some time. It’s good for both of you!
3) Staring
There are a lot of different things a
dog might be trying to communicate to you with their stare, and we’re going to
break ’em down for you right now.
Then there’s the
possibility that a dog is simply seeking attention in any form, or perhaps
she’s merely waiting for praise or direction. Some dogs may just be trying to
read an emotion in our human facial expressions .
1.Nap, Play, Pee
2.Belly rubs needed when you have a
minute
3.Good day for a Car ride, or a
walk or anything she loves which allows a dash of fresh air.
4.Not Feeling good.
5.She want something from the
kitchen –Food or Special treats.
6. A way of telling we love you or wants your affection.
4) Tongue out studying you
If you caught the opposite sex doing this
to you, you might call the police. When a dog does this, it’s a sign they are
relaxed, happy and mellow. This is usually their expression after getting the
attention they crave!
5) Intense Eye Contact
Who doesn’t want to be the
focus of a loved one’s attention? If you have a dog and he is making intense
eye contact with you, he is focused on you and you alone. He is very alert to
your expressions and what you want from him.
6) Open mouth with relaxed tail but high ears
If you catch your dog like
this, it means she is neutral, relaxed and secure in her surroundings. If you
are wondering when the best time to approach a strange dog is, it is when they
are doing these things.

7) Straight pointed tail and forward ears
In this situation, your best
friend is curious about something within his environment. Maybe he hears a new
noise or smells something interesting. Either way, he is ready to play
detective.

8) Loose floppy tongue
If her tongue is hanging out,
she is feeling chill. This is a sign nothing is wrong in her world and
everything is O.K.

9) Baring teeth, ears back and snarling
This one is obvious; however, it never hurts to remind people what an angry, aggressive dog looks like. If you encounter this, your dog is feeling threatened and giving warning to the enemy. Do not approach a dog in this state. Even if he is angry at something else, you run the risk of being bitten.

10) Rising bark
It’s play time! If your dog
starts with a low bark and it gets higher toward the end, he cannot contain his
excitement and he wants to play a game with you!

11) Howling
Have you ever noticed dogs howl at the most annoying times? Usually when a dog hears a high-pitched sound, like a siren or train whistle, they howl back. It is unclear if this is because they are annoyed, or it is causing their ears discomfort.

12) Low growl
If a dog is doing a low growl, she’s anxious and fearful. Any scared animal is unpredictable. Do not surprise her when her nerves are getting the best of her.

13) Crazy Legs/Dead Bug
If your dog is sleeping with all his limbs sticking up in the air (resembling a dead bug) he is submissive and vulnerable. Not all dogs sleep like this, but if yours does he is a laid back independent pup that feels secure in his surroundings.

14) Side Sleepers
Dogs don’t usually sleep on their sides for long, but it is a typical napping position for them. Dogs who do this often have strong familial bonds and a lot of trust in their “pack.” She is probably a carefree happy dog.

15) Superman
When a dog is sprawled out and laying on his belly, he is probably an energetic animal that has finally crashed. Most often puppies sleep like this, it allows them to pop back up and resume play time when they awake!

16) Passed Out
When a dog is passed out completely, laying on her back with her limbs drooping across her body, there is a good chance she is overheating. This is the best way for her to lay to cool off. If both paws are draped across her chest, she is saying “leave me alone.” Dogs need their beauty sleep too!

17) Belly curl
A dog sleeping on his belly with his paws either underneath him or out to his sides is not getting good quality sleep. In this position dogs can’t reach REM sleep because their muscles cannot fully relax. Gentle, shy dogs usually sleep like this.

18) The Fox
When a dog’s paws are underneath her and her tail is wrapped around to her face, she is probably cold. This position allows her to keep as much heat in as possible. If you were to visit a wolf den (not recommended!) you would see them sleeping like this. If the dog is not cold, she could be apprehensive.

19) Back to back
It’s so cute when you see two dogs sleeping back to back! It’s even sweeter when they sleep back to back with their owners! A dog will only do this with one of his “pack” members that he 100% trusts.

20) Wave your paws in the air like you just don’t care
If your dog is either standing or sitting and has both paws raised, she cares! She is probably trying her best to concentrate.

21) Giving gifts
If your dog brings you a gift, whether it’s a dead animal or your shoe, they are trying to make you happy. If your reaction is “ew” but you smile, I doubt he will be offended.

22) Post Dinner Cuddles
When a dog wants to snuggle up after a big meal, she is very comfortable with you.

23) Licking
Some people allow their pet to lick their faces while others get grossed out if they even lick their hands. Either way, when a dog licks you he is being submissive. He is easing some of his stress and showing you love.

24) Going crazy when you get home
“Finally, you’re here! I missed you all day!” If he could talk this is what he’d be saying or shouting rather. The wilder they get when you walk through the door the more excited to see you they are.

25) Helping himself to you bed
Ever come home to find your dog laying in your empty bed? This is a sign she wants to feel close to you when you were not there. Your bed has your scent, and well, it is rather comfortable.

The bad behavior of my dog forced me to investigate how I could train him. I found this system online and it has given me excellent results, tinyurl.com/dogbestbehavior ! He no longer bites my furniture, or my shoes, no longer urinates in the room, and no longer barks like crazy!
